Python Social Auth

Python Social Auth is an easy-to-setup social authentication/registration mechanism with support for several frameworks and auth providers.

Crafted using base code from django-social-auth, it implements a common interface to define new authentication providers from third parties, and to bring support for more frameworks and ORMs.

Features

This application provides user registration and login using social sites credentials. Here are some features, which is probably not a full list yet.

Supported frameworks

Multiple frameworks are supported:

• Django
• Flask
• Pyramid
• Webpy
• Tornado

More frameworks can be added easily (and should be even easier in the future once the code matures).

Auth providers

User data

Basic user data population, to allow custom field values from provider's response.

Social accounts association

Multiple social accounts can be associated to a single user.

Authentication processing

Extensible pipeline to handle authentication/association mechanism in ways that suits your project.

Dependencies

Dependencies that must be met to use the application:

• OpenId support depends on python-openid
• OAuth support depends on requests-oauthlib
• Several backends demand application registration on their corresponding sites and other dependencies like sqlalchemy on Flask and Webpy.

• Other dependencies:

  • six
  • requests

Project homepage is available at http://psa.matiasaguirre.net/ and documents at http://psa.matiasaguirre.net or http://python-social-auth.readthedocs.org/.

Installation

From pypi:

$ pip install python-social-auth

Or:

$ easy_install python-social-auth

Or clone from github:

$ git clone git://github.com/omab/python-social-auth.git

And add social to PYTHONPATH:

$ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)/python-social-auth/

Or:

$ cd python-social-auth
$ sudo python setup.py install

Upgrading

Django with South

Upgrading from 0.1 to 0.2 is likely to cause problems trying to apply a migration when the tables already exist. In this case a fake migration needs to be applied:

$ python manage.py migrate --fake default
